To all whom t may concern:

Be it known that I, DANIEL G. RIPLEY, of

f Pittsburg, in the county of Allegheny andState base for the purpose of catching and holding the drip from the spout. The molasses-pitchers which are in most general use are simple glass pitchers, of the shape shown in the accompanying drawing. These pitchers are or dinarily placed in a saucer for the purpose of preventing the drip from fallin g upon the table.

To enable others skilled in the art to make and use my invention I will describe its construction and manner of use.

rPhe pitcher a is blown in a mold in the Way ordinarily practiced, and is provided with the usual metallic top b. The saucer base c is pressed in a separate mold, and, while the parts are still in a plastic condition, the pitcher a is placed upon the raised base o1, so that they shall unite in the same way practiced in the manufacture of similar articles of glassware. Thebase'chas araised pedestalor base,

c1, and a groove or depression, c2, which catches and retains the drip, and for this purpose the saucer base extends out beyond the extreme point ofthe delivery-spout e.v

What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

A glass molasses-pitcher provided with a saucer-shaped base, c, substantially as and for the purposes described.

In testimony whereof I, the said DANIEL C. RIPLEY, have hereunto set my hand.
